For a crispier texture: Substitute half of the brown sugar with more granulated sugar. Increase the baking time by 1–2 minutes.
For a softer texture: Substitute all of the granulated sugar with more brown sugar.
To make a really chewy cookie: Melt the butter and use the One-Bowl Method instead of the Creaming Method.
To make thick cookies that don’t spread much: Place the scooped cookies in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before baking. Increase baking time by 1–2 minutes.
To make thinner cookies that spread a lot: Cream the butter and sugar for 3 full minutes. Decrease the baking temperature to 325°F/165°C and increase the baking time to 16–18 minutes.
